cuts and bruises on the face, said he would do
well enough.
Mr.. Miller conflded to Detective Reilly OF the
Thirtieth street station how he was injured.
but declined. on the ground that he was a
gentleman and man OF honor" to toll who
caused the injuries. He was sitting, he said
in saloon on the east side Of Sixth avenue
between Twenty eighth and Twenty ninth

young man came in and upbraded her for
associating with Miller. winding up his
remarks by, slapping her violently In
the face. Miller got up and threatened to
smash the fellows head with his cane. The
proprietor of the place interfered and ordered
the, fellow out He went out, lay in wait for
Miller on the sidewalk, and when Miller
emerged from, tho saloon knocked him down
that this is not true. and that somebody whom
Miller tried to swlndle thrnshed him.
Miller says he will pay his board at tho hos
pital. Detective Reilly suggested that the SUI
perintendent ought to get the money in ad-
vance. Miller has not done any heavy work
since he swindled Valentine O. King. Consul to
Madrid. out of $3.50. and relieved an unsophis-
ticated Methodist minister of S75 He has
been promising the police to reform.
